i TOWN H*LL PICTURES.

The new programme presented at the Town Hall last evenirg created a most favourable impression It waa unique, not only for the momentous character of the films, but on account of the exceptionally good light thrown upoa the screen. The motive power has been increased to such an extent that the light projected is, particularly brilliant. The picture | describing the first aeroplane flight made in Australia was watched with keen interest, as were also the various'dramatic and tropical numbers. The description of a trip from Marseilles tb Algiers was hifihty instrurtive and entertaining. The whole of the comic items were of an amusing character, and the audience was at times convulsed in laughter. The programme will be repeated to night. The proprietary wish it known that nominations for the children's competition will absolutely close on Saturday next.
